Disability Awareness Workshop - Just Like You

In Week 8 on Tuesday 17 March, each class participated in a free, on-site disability awareness workshop titled 'Just Like You'. The workshops are designed to be age-appropriate and will help students develop a deeper understanding of various disabilities.

The aim of these workshops is to promote empathy by highlighting the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, celebrating the uniqueness of all people, and challenging common misconceptions.

 

Focus: Know the facts for better impact

Students develop an understanding of the different forms of disabilities, including physical, invisible and sensory disabilities and learn how to empathise with challenges people with disabilities may face.

 

Focus: Celebrating difference, creating inclusion

Our dynamic Facilitator educates students to gain a fundamental understanding of why uniqueness is valued and should be celebrated. 

Students will learn how to identify differences as a positive feature in their lives.

 

Focus: Challenging norms to find the extraordinary

Pre-conceived ideas around disability are challenged. Students will look at their own role in society and their contribution to positive and negative mindsets. 

Students will then practice integrating alternative modes of communication and movement in to their classroom environment.
